Subject: [PATCH v2] vhost: avoid sleeping under mutex
Date: Mon, 15 May 2023 13:18:44 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230515111844.884784-1-david.marchand@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20230322170524.2314715-1-david.marchand@redhat.com>

Covscan reported:

 2. dpdk-21.11/lib/vhost/socket.c:852: lock_acquire: Calling function
	"pthread_mutex_lock" acquires lock "vhost_user.mutex".
23. dpdk-21.11/lib/vhost/socket.c:955: sleep: Call to
	"vhost_user_reconnect_init" might sleep while holding lock
	"vhost_user.mutex".
 #   953|   		vsocket->reconnect =
	!(flags & RTE_VHOST_USER_NO_RECONNECT);
 #   954|   		if (vsocket->reconnect && reconn_tid == 0) {
 #   955|-> 			if (vhost_user_reconnect_init() != 0)
 #   956|   				goto out_mutex;
 #   957|   		}

The reason for this warning is that vhost_user_reconnect_init() creates a
ctrl thread and calls nanosleep waiting for this thread to be ready,
while vhost_user.mutex is taken.

Move the call to vhost_user_reconnect_init() out of this mutex.

While at it, a pthread_t value should be considered opaque.
Instead of relying reconn_tid == 0, use an internal flag in
vhost_user_reconnect_init().

Coverity issue: 373686
Bugzilla ID: 981
Fixes: e623e0c6d8a5 ("vhost: add reconnect ability")

Changes since v1:
- moved reconn_tid in vhost_user_reconnect_init as this
  variable is not used anywhere else,
